If you need pyrotechnics to sell compassion, maybe the priorities are backwards.
Ok I thought they were hanging Ronald McDonald in effigy
ronald is finally ascending to heaven. looks more like marcel marceau the mime, a temu version.
And somehow Palpatine returned.
What a golden calf.
They turned the church into a circus.
Do they still give out bread tho?
That’s communism. Supply side Jesus says no.

Very fun read, thanks!
Indeed! Supply Side Jesus is one of my favorite webcomics.
Most of them lost the vision eons ago
These people are all damned to Hell.
They are creating it on Earth.
What if they were already sent to help for their sins, and this is it, but they don't realise it?
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren And their great-great grandchildren will tell
It not like this fly over system costs very much. Compared to the huge building and technology they install. I am fully against Church and religion in general, but flying Santa isn't too spectacular. The private jets, buildings the size of Amazon warehouses that actually cost....
What in the ragety-anne-fuck is going on there?
I don't know and I don't give a french fried titty fuck
If Jesus returned from the dead he would be anti-Christian.
How much further from actual Christian values can modern Christianity get?
he would probably smite them.
What in the actual three-ring-fuck is going on in this picture?
I know that church doesn't have to be as solemn as a funeral, but still... unless these production levels are generating millions for charity, I can't imagine how people are just okay with this.
Is this an actual service or just an event provided by the church? Staging plays is a social task that can be serviced by a church.
Very American and over the top, still.
very evangelical, its either this or some kind of wierd play, or concert they are doing.
A google image search could have answered your question of doubt.
The visual is from the annual "Gift of Christmas" production at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Texas. It IS a church production.
Despite being a 40-year tradition at the church, the $1 million Broadway-style production has faced backlash for its extravagance in recent years. In the past, church leaders have justified the performance by explaining the miracle of Jesus’ birth warrants an over-the-top celebration. They told the Dallas Morning News last year, “Jesus deserves our absolute best. … It’s unfortunate that the perennial American tradition of the church Christmas program now draws criticism.”
People are gonna watch The Righteous Gemstones and think it's a documentary
It is.
That's ridiculous, even Jesus thought so.
And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, "It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers."
Matthew 21:12-13 (Source)
Some things would mix well. I'd go to "church" just to see the mix.

But only by suffering enough will the poor be worthy. Then they’ll magically lift themselves up out of poverty.
So heap suffering on them!
Oh look, I guess they were never worthy…
